If you listen closely to her narration across the trailer, you can probably deduce much more.

Shacknews: What are some of the new features and story elements that Layers of Fear fans can look forward to in Layers of Fears?īabieno: Quite a few things come to mind that we are very excited about! We will reveal more as we approach our release window next year. When combined with the psychological direction of the plot, this yields the “psychedelic” mood we aim for.
There’s a lot of disturbing imagery, creepy sound design and improbable geometry in the franchise.
Shacknews: Layers of Fears is described as a “psychedelic horror chronicle” - can you elaborate on this a bit more?īabieno: Actually, this is something that has been an important part of the series since the first game. The new storylines along with revamped gameplay mechanics will provide an experience that is both familiar and fresh for returning fans. Still, fans that have played every game in the series before can look forward to the game as well. They will learn the complete story, and more, by playing Layers of Fears. Shacknews: Do gamers need to play previous Layers of Fear games in order to dive in and enjoy Layers of Fears?īabieno: No, they don’t. We’ve chosen Layers of Fears because it on one hand brings together the original titles, but on the other shows that it is something new as well. We are fully aware the name is unconventional, but you can tell by our studio’s name that such things have never stopped us before. Internally, we think of this project as a reimagining of the entire Layers of Fear story arc packaged into a single title, and bolstered by the addition of new content. We didn't want to mislead our audience or do the game a disservice with a name that implies a simple remaster, or promises a traditional sequel. Shacknews: How did the team settle on the name Layers of Fears, and were there any other names that were being considered?īabieno: It’s not easy to come up with a good title, especially since we feel this game is quite a new concept.
We took all the previously released titles, combined them into a single game, developed this new concept from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5, and added a new gameplay direction. It’s a combination of old and new narratives. It’s the complete story fans have come to love, but re-told in a fresh way that expands themes that we feel were previously underdeveloped.
